Self-unloading container for the transport of cereals and oilseeds

Abstract

A container to be used with trucks, semitrailers, railway wagons and ships, so as to carry out a multimodal transport where the transport by land, railway and fluvial routes is combined as needed. The container has a metal parallelepiped structure which contains a truck bed receiving the material, and one end it is mounted over a hinging resource that allows its turn regarding a lower cross axis; and at another end it is connected with a hydraulic cylinder that is fixed over the basis of the mentioned metallic structure and has its end free of its piston linked to the upper and rear cross edge of the truck bed.

Having described and exemplified the nature and main purpose of the present disclosure, as well as the manner in which it can be carried out, the following are hereby claimed as exclusive property and rights: 
     
       1. A self-unloading container for the transport of cereals and oilseeds, to be applied over trucks, semitrailers, railway wagons and ships, so that it is possible to carry out a multimodal transport where the transport by land, railway and fluvial routes is combined according to the needs of each case, comprising a metal parallelepiped structure, which contains a pivotable truck bed for receiving material wherein said truck bed is contained within said metal parallelepiped structure, wherein at one end it is mounted over a hinging resource that allows its turn regarding a lower cross axis; while over the other end it is associated to an hydraulic cylinder that is fixed over the basis of the metal parallelepiped structure and has a end free of a piston linked to an upper and rear cross edge of said truck bed, through which it is possible to overturn it to cause the unloading of transported material and wherein said truck bed pivots relative to said metal parallelepiped structure. 
     
     
       2. The self-unloading container for the transport of cereals and oilseeds, according to  claim 1 , wherein the parallelepiped metallic structure includes steel profiles that define corresponding side rails, studs and cross bars. 
     
     
       3. The self-unloading container for the transport of cereals and oilseeds, according to  claim 1  wherein the hinging resource includes a pair of side hinges arranged in correspondence with lower and rear vertexes of the truck bed. 
     
     
       4. The self-unloading container for the transport of cereals and oilseeds, according to  claim 1 , wherein between a lower crossbar of the metal parallelepiped structure and an intermediate and external point of the basis of the truck bed there is a stabilizer that maintains the truck bed in an unloading position.
